Chicago's going to drop the pretense that the police are there to help citizens...

Hey look thats not what it says at all.
Except, it does. They're saying (although they're avoiding the question a bit) that they don't intend to put an officer on the spot to observe any evidence or take statements from anybody but the caller, and that they'll take whatever statements they do decide on taking whenever they damned well please, and only by phone.
No they said they have limited resources and will triage responses, thats the same as... just about every other institution on the planet.
Of course they have limited resources. What they're saying is that CRIME is no longer important enough for them to put their concerns into. There's more important things to do... like generate money from "the drug war" and from traffic fines. There's no ambiguity here, they are saying that the calls for criminal activity like theft just aren't important enough to spend any real time on. Evidence will be collected by phone.
Now, that last video I posted... the cops must have some pull or someone enlisted the TV station to get the video pulled, because it's gone now, just hours after it was posted. I'm on the 416 getting access through my S3 right now, so I can't really go look for it. If it interests you, go look it up... there is video of them stripping her naked with two male police officers holding her down, and doing a body cavity search. This is where totalitarian thinking leads. Imagine it was you, your mother, your wife or your daughter.
Now THIS is quite a story, too.

Read deeper. They said that there are many things they won't respond to AT ALL except by phone and on their time schedule.
You really should read that last story BTW... the LA cops have already shot and killed three innocent people on their hunt for a threat to them. It's still developing. And here's a really nice new gem as well:

I think you miss the point.
